About the AuthorsDiana’s bio:
Sometimes we don’t know how strong we can be until we are forced to react to something harmful or unpleasant. I write fiction about women choosing to challenge their fears even though they want to run from them. By the end of their journey, they have become the strong women God intends. Perhaps you’ll see a bit of yourself between the covers. Diana can be found at www.dianabrandmeyer.com and on Facebook.

Cari’s bio:
Cari has worn numerous hats in her life. She proudly wore the uniform of the United States Air Force, obtained her Bachelor’s degree and worked as a critical care RN for almost a decade, and owned her own Personal Chef and Catering company for six years. After all that, she chose to turn her attention back to her family. Hello and Goodbye, Volume One of the Yellow Ribbon Chronicles, is her second novel. Faith, Hope, Love, and Chocolate was her first novel. Cari can be found at www.carischaeffer.com and on Facebook.
